Windows 7: User accounts

I did an upgrade from Vista to w7 ultimate and everything went great so i set up user accounts that werent there before. I wanted to set up as administrator the upgrade version, and 2 standard accounts. Now what happened is the admin account is new and the upgrade account is set as a regular account. I tried everything to change it but it will not let me. It told me to make one of the other accounts as admin before i can change the admin account but it will not let me. I hope i am not to hard to understand. What can i do to fix it?
